Love lost
Of You... by Rene Tyo
Love Poem Poetry Contest contest entry

I walked by a home I used to own

It reminded me of you

 

It was burned to the ground

It reminded me of you

 

I walked past a withered tree today

It reminded me of you

 

My old dog didn’t pull at his leash

He reminded me of you

 

All that I see brings back bitter memories

Where there once was vitality

now there is none

 

Senses flood overwhelmed by grief

Once you had a grip on reality

now there is none

 

Substances have taken their exacting toll

Leading to yet another fatality

now there is no one

 

I climbed my weather beaten porch steps

they reminded me...


Author Notes
While walking my dog we went by a home I had once owned. It and he inspired this piece. I thought of a dear friend, recently passed, who had many struggles.
